Lot all-doubtful statements bo put to the"
-?esre^o-tWor experience:
1. That there is a great wastoof amnio
ssa when PeruviarJgiirno is used in its
concentrated, form: it. should bo mixed
With ^WfiTJ^losphatc, alkaline salts, &c.
2. That no combination of salts, leav
-ifigotttftftluule!phosphoric acid, will pay
on our worn soils.
3.I'lial taken separately 'none of the
salts sold [as fertilizers to make home
^Oj^ip^pg^s^will pay. , Their virtues, if
any, must bo .in chemical action upon
each other, and the substances with which
they are comptastcdy ? .
4. TliaJ^iy jreated with sulphtuic
acid will greatly improve their fcrti i
zing qualities.
5. That two hundred pounds of a good
ainnior.iated supqrphosphorntc is about
the quantity to be used on an acre of
cotton. ;5X^XI Q?l "X
^6, That a soil abounding in vegetable
matter will pay a mucli better per cent,
with commercial fertilizers than one liav
ing but lit?ejffi.tbjs substunco.
7. That a large amount of fertclizers
(say half aJton per ncro) will not pay with
low 'pr'icefl'cotton.
M. Thai with .good cultiuation, good fertili
zeWWlTp^yVcven at the lowest rates of
cotton; but with bad cultivation they
will hardly pay at nny price.
9. That wjiHe potash is. more indispcu

may replncc the former under* certain
circumstances. .
^|). That'^^imotpnaic bl lime, being
less soluble in cold water, is not so efli
ciBH^ffT'fHCrBFp'hAs'Iflialc ns"a' fertilizer
11. Thatjstablc mtinuro, either fresh or
rotted, applied witflVlligh graded super
phosphate, makes a very efficient fertili
zer for cotton.
12. That cotton seed applied w^ith the
conjunction with a good superphosphate
ipjukes a powerful ibrtilizo'r. >
lg. That lime should never be used in
conjunction with a superphosphate, and
the application or superphosphates to
oaltiiTeolS soiis.isUftltoiUtui utility.
14. Fertilizers applied during the
growth of ?iecrop, to keep up a supply
of nutrition to the rootlets, will not pay
under ordinary^rcjuuu^ancc.^.
15. That limuunua'lg,thoirniost active
and efiicient form of nitrogen, when
applied as a fertilizer, und that organic
nitrotreptin cortainiivlbnniinoids ;is more

their forms and c^h^jH'$u$ their
commercial valuS, which is rated accor

17. That the application of soluble
riiWuresWn liquid foam is better and
more efficient than when applied in the
?Jry state.
. T)iat lime will pay on soils aboun
ding in organic matter; on other soils its
application is doubtful utility.
lib That subsoils dbKiidt germinate
seeds, or grow plants, like surface soils.
20. That early planted cotton will not
produce as much as that planted Inter,
when the ground becomes warm, and the
plant is not retarded, but grows off vigor
ously and healthily.
21. That subsoiling cotton lands will
pay for the extra labor on our clay soils.
22. TlmtJiiTJtrf?inf a hill will] pro
duce more jtottpn than two or more
stalks. ?
23. That topping cotton is rather a de
triment than an advantage to the crop.
24. That cotton planted in narrow rows
two and ti hajf feetwtdo and fertilized,
